    Worklog The Wii Slim [WIP]

    Hi, I am currently reverse engineering the Wii's stock case to create a "Wii Slim". The project mainly consists of modifiable OpenSCAD files, so that i can easily change the height of the entire case and 3D-print a smaller one that better uses the space freed up by removing broken disk drives...

    Solved Where do I solder to relocate motherboard items?

    Now I'm sure this is a very dumb question, but where do I solder to relocate motherboard items? I should probably explain what I'm talking about. I'm trying to trim down a Wii motherboard that I ripped (Carefully took out) out of a Wii, so I've read "The Definitive Wii Trimming Guide" about ten...

    Question Noob here, looking for some forums that can get me started on wii portables.

    Hey! So I checked out the wii trimming guide and have a general idea of how to make a wii portable (looked at a work log) but some forums about the specifics of certain parts of the process (mainly wiring and where everything connects to) would be useful as I have very little electronic...

    Question wii portable battery voltage?

    The question is very delicate, the portable wii that I see on this page have 4 batteries and recommend a voltage of 14.4v for the battery to last longer, but that is the voltage of the 4 discharged, the charged voltage is 16.8 wii supports that voltage ?

    Question Noob, power input or output question.

    I've been trying my best to understand everything on the trimming guide before going too hands on, I successfully relocated the U10 chip. Now the only question I have is if the 5v, 3.3v, and 12v locations are outputs or need to be supplied with the voltage to the pins 4, 10, and 13?

  12. Question Switch type of video output

    Hey, the screen I am using for my trimmed Wii just has a composite input but I would love to have an HDMI output port on my console as well. In contrast, the Wii2HDMI adapter needs component output which I get if I would bridge the 3.3v and mode pins. Is it possible to get both output types at...
  13. Solved USB not working on trimmed Wii
